DOJ issues new wave of subpoenas in criminal probe of Alaska Senate race: Report
- On Wednesday, the Justice Department dramatically accelerated its criminal probe into Alaska Democrats after a New York Times report alleged a coordinated effort to confuse voters by recruiting a candidate intended to siphon votes from Republican Sen. Daniel Sullivan.
- State officials previously sought to disqualify Daniel J. Sullivan, nicknamed 'Decoy Dan' by opponents, arguing his candidacy aimed to confuse voters; the state supreme court rejected those efforts and allowed both Sullivans to remain on the ballot.
- Federal prosecutors issued more than 40 grand jury subpoenas to key targets by Wednesday evening. President Donald Trump said he believes the candidates should be prosecuted, calling the situation 'voter fraud at the highest level.'
- Investigators are considering potential civil rights charges, while Alaska's Republican-led elections office presses a court to dismiss a related lawsuit, arguing it seeks to sow 'doubt' and 'cast a cloud over' the contest.
- This investigation follows a series of Justice Department actions that diverge sharply from previous administrations, which typically avoided public scrutiny in the final weeks before an election.
